"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Sophia, you are so going to love me soooooo much for this!!" Kit squealed while in the back, wiping the dishes. Sophia gave her a look of surprise.

"What, what is it?" She asked baffled.

"I found a replacement. Now, they aren't as beautiful or intelligent, or witty and graceful, but they'll do in a pinch." Kit smiled.

"Really? Who?" Now Sophia was really excited.

"Ah ah ah. No. It's a surprise. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow morning." Kit said slyly. Sophia grinned uncertainly and hugged her friend. Kit always came through for her.

The Next Morning, Day Of The Play

Sophia double-checked that she had everything another time. She glanced at her watch and looked outside to the empty driveway. Her dad went to work early that morning, but left some money on the table for her.

Whoever this mystery person is better get here soon. We might miss the show if they're… Oh, Kit, what did you do? She asked herself as she heard a familiar rumble of an engine. She blinked a couple of times to make sure she was seeing what she thought she was seeing. Luke Cates' vehicle was in her driveway. She saw him turn off the car, get out and walk up to the house, smiling as he saw her through the window. He opened the door and let himself in, creeping in the house a little at a time.

"So, you ready to go?" He asked. Sophia shook her head a little.

"Is this a joke?" She asked him.

It was his turn to shake his head. "No. Why would it be?" He asked her.

"You're the replacement?" She asked, a little perplexed.

"Yah. Is that a problem?" He asked, a little worried. She looked as though she was going to have a panic attack or something. She took a couple of deep breaths and straightened herself out.

"No, no problem. You going to just stand there or are you going to start the car so we can get going? You were almost late you know. C'mon, c'mon, lets get going…" She said as she ushered him out the door, picking up her bag and locking the front door. He waited for her at the passenger side of the car, and as she approached, he opened the door for her and stuck out his hand for her luggage. She smiled a little and complied with no arguing. He hurriedly packed her stuff in the trunk of the car and got into the vehicle quickly, heading towards the next town with a new passion.

In The Town

Sophia instructed Luke to the hotel they were staying in. Once they arrived, they checked in, but had a little trouble.

"What do you mean you don't have my reservation?" Sophia asked, getting angry. "I made it about a month ago. It has to be there."

"I'm sorry Miss. There was a record of your advance booking, but it seems to have been canceled." The Manager, Mr. Hingles, told them. Realization dawned on her.

"I did cancel my reservation, then I renewed it. The man who answered the phone said it was no problem." She explained. Mr. Hinlges shook his head.

"I'm sorry. I believe you, but we have no record of it. He must not have written it down. We pretty much booked up, except for…" He glanced at his book, checking, gave a little frown, but looked up at them, "Except for the Honeymoon Suite."

Sophia shook her head, but Luke stepped up and took out his wallet. "How much for the night?" He asked. It took Sophia a few minutes to figure out what he was doing, then pulled him away.

"What are you doing? Are you insane?!" She hissed.

"Sophia, this is the best hotel in the area right?" She nodded. "This is the hotel you want to stay in, right?"

"Not if it means that we have to have the Honeymoon Suite!"

"Sophia, it's the closest hotel to the theater, and like you said it's the best. I promise I won't do anything…bad, while we're sharing a room. Anyway, the bed in that room could fit about ten people I bet. If we end up sharing," He held up his hand to stop her from arguing, "If we end up sharing the bed, I promise I will be gentlemanly about it. OK?" He asked, watching her for any signs of disagreement. He cheered joyously inside when she nodded her head defeatedly.

I seem to do that a lot when he's around. She thought to herself as she got her bag as he went up to Mr. Hingles to pay for the room. She was astounded about how much money he carried with him and how much the room cost. As they walked toward the elevator, she told him that once they got back home she would pay her half of the room.

"No way. This will be my treat to you. For trusting me." He replied.

The room itself was gorgeous. The bed was enormous, with satin sheets and all, a huge bathroom including a Jacuzzi, a tremendous kitchen complete with dining table, and best of all, a terrace.

"Oh wow." Was all Sophia could say as she stepped in.

"Cool." Luke commented. She shook her head and dropped her bag to explore it. She figured she could fit two of her bedrooms in the space, including her bathroom. She was in awe, until she saw the time on the clock next to the bed.

"Ok, time to go. You ready?" She asked him. He nodded.

"You have both the tickets, right?" He asked. She looked at him like he had just asked her if she knew what one plus one was. He shrugged. "Ok, stupid question." He pulled his car keys from his pocket and put the key card for the room in his wallet.

Sophia was practically bouncing as they got to the theater. He had never seen her so excited before. He had bought her a couple of snacks out in the lobby, but now he thought it was a bad idea, since the snacks were all sugary.

And from the looks of it, she doesn't need any more sugar in her system. He thought. The lights went out and the show began.

Luke was soooooooooooo bored. He thought it was going to be a play, not a musical. And it was about cats. Ok, he knew that they were going to see the show Cats, but he didn't think it was all cats. There was nothing but cats. The wolf in him growled, but when he looked over at Sophia, he had to smile. She was enjoying the show. When she looked over at him, he pretended to be all interested in it as well, but he was sooooooooooooooooo bored. He thought it would never end.

Sophia looked over at him, and saw that he was actually not minding the show. That surprised her. She didn't think Luke would be into musicals. Then she figured she was probably right, and looked at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was bored beyond belief. She shook her head and sighed a little. It was sweet that he was pretending to like the show, but he didn't have too. Then an idea popped into her head near the end of the show. She grinned wickedly to herself. This would be fun.

"So Luke, how did you like it?" She asked as they walked to the car.

"Oh, it was really good. I really enjoyed it." He relied. He sounded almost sincere. Almost.

"Yah, I just loved that scene where Annabelle confessed her love to Wilfred." Sophia said as she got in the car.

"Oh? Yah, I liked the song, too." He answered, pulling out of the parking space. He wasn't really paying attention to the play and thus didn't know any of the names, so he had no idea that there was no Annabelle or Wilfred.

"HAH!" Sophia shouted, sort of in victory. Luke looked puzzled. "There was no Annabelle or Wilfred. Luke, you didn't even pay attention to the play!" She accused. He thought about arguing with her, but thought about what the point would be.

"Sophia," he whined, "It was about cats. I mean, I didn't even understand what they were saying…singing or whatever. They were talking cat…" He complained.

"Luke, the whole play was in English!!" She told him, giggling. She sighed and touched his hand. "If you didn't like the play, why didn't you just say so?" She asked him. He looked down at their touching hands for a second, then turned back to the road.

"You were all excited about it. I didn't want to disappoint you by not liking it." He confessed. That she believed. She shook her head again.

"You dolt." She kidded and yawned. It was late and she had gotten up early in anticipation of the play. She looked over at Luke and noticed that he seemed wide-awake. But then again, he would be a nocturnal kind of person. She thought to herself. Probably up all night, partying with the Hill Kids and stuff…Doing stuff I'll never do…Having fun…Being hot…

"What?" Luke asked, a little startled at what he had heard.

"Hmmm?" She murmured sleepily.

"Do you want the air conditioner on?" He asked.

"No. It's cold as it is."

"But you just said you were hot…"

"What?!" She woke up at that.

"Ok, well, you didn't really say it, but you thought it, right? I mean, that's what you meant, right?" He asked, a smirk working at his lips. Maybe she meant something different altogether…

"Uh…Luke, you're going to miss the turn." She said, making him look back at the road. He had to make a sharp turn, which made her slide closer to him. She almost thought that he did it on purpose.

They got out of the car and walked to their room in semi-silence; Luke kept asking what she meant by her comment.

"Why don't you want to answer me if it's nothing?"

"Why don't you keep out of my head?"

"You were broadcasting your thoughts loud and clear. It's not my fault you can't really control it."

"Look, I'm really tired and just want to go to sleep, ok? I'm going to change in the bathroom now." Sophia said as she grabbed her bag and marched to the bathroom. Luke thought getting changed was a good idea, so he took the opportunity to get into his boxers as well. He heard her getting ready for bed; brushing her teeth and the like. When she walked out of the bathroom, he couldn't keep a grin from coming on to his face. She had on Ducky pajama pants and a top to match. It was so cute.

"Uh…what side of the bed do you want?" She asked him. He shrugged, so she scowled at him.

"What? I don't care. If you have a specific side you want, then take it. It doesn't matter to me." He told her, then strolled by her to brush his teeth. Sophia grumbled and took the right side. By the time Luke came out, she was already fast asleep. He grinned again, just taking a moment to gaze at her sleeping form.

She is so beautiful… He shook his head of his thoughts and climbed into bed. As he drifted off to sleep, his last thought was that they could fit about two other people between them.
